CRY OF THE MOHAWK WARRIOR © 2023 (HBP)

Audio portion - Produced and engineered by Réjean de Grand Maison at The Big House

Composers - A. Tomasso, M. Matulis. 

Consultants - Nick Fulleringer and Roger Dawson.

Without being too specific, for obvious reasons, I wrote the lyrics to speak of the "Mohawk Warrior" (The Mohawks were the most easterly of the Iroquois Nation's tribes) historically as well as of the present day (Kahnawake Warrior Society) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohawk_Warrior_Society . In the song you find yourself in the middle of any one of many battles occurring between 1609 and 1777 in what is now the northern New York and southern Québec area. "The Mohawk Indians who were left in the Mohawk River Valley of upper New York state, were friends with and sided with the English during the French and Indian war. However, the Mohawk Indians who had been taken into Canada, sided with the French. This had the effect of pitting Mohawk brother against Mohawk brother, something the chiefs feared more than any enemy. Then came the Revolutionary War. Most of the Iroquois tribes sided with their allies, the English. But because the Colonies were fighting for Freedom, and because the Mohawk treasured freedom, many of the Mohawks sided with the Colonists. Again, Mohawk Brother was pitted against Mohawk Brother. This, coming so close on the tail-end of the French and Indian War effectively destroyed the unity of the Mohawks, who for so long had guarded the Iroquois against invasion in the East. Added onto this, the results of the Revolutionary War forced all of the Iroquois/Mohawk allies, as well as the enemies of the Colonists to cede their lands to the Americans. Interestingly, it was a corporation that took possession of the lands of the Mohawk and Iroquois — the corporation was headed by a man who was related to the President's wife at the time of the undertaking." www.aaanativearts.com/battle-of-lake-george It is complicated but the Mohawk Warriors are a proactive group and have taken on the responsibility of standing at the forefront of the conflict that exists between the First Nations and the various governmental and corporate entities across Canada and the U.S.. The exploitation, deception and injustices of the past that were inflicted upon our indigenous people have at best been compounded and persist through the year 2020 AD. Things must change and the Mohawk Warrior, among many others, is there to make sure that they do. We, the members of BLUES GATOR support the First Nations and we pay homage to the brave Mohawk Warrior. The "Warrior Sun/Son" referred to in this song, as in ( "... rage of the warrior son... " ) is a double entendre meant to sensitize the listener to the historically documented fact that over the centuries, many generations of noble Mohawk warrior sons have fought and died, come and gone and also to the Mohawk Warrior flag that uses a very striking image of the sun behind the Warrior profile to visually represent the rage and outrage that is felt by these people. lyrics CRY OF THE WARRIOR © 2023 (HBP) Cool waters run Pounding of the gun Death is in the air Blood infecting sun Long story's told Short story's cold People of the Bear Dying everywhere You hear the cry of The Warrior The rage of The Warrior Sun Big rivers rise Drowning out their lies Red Coats retreat Accepting their defeat You hear the cry of The Warrior The rage of The Warrior Sun Cry of The Warrior The rage of The Warrior Sun We are here to stay Winds of time will change We will find a way We will fight today Take them on the run Take them 'till they're done Nations unite Brother, sister join the fight You hear the cry of The Warrior The rage of The Warrior Sun Cry of The Warrior The rage of The Warrior Cry of The Warrior The rage of The Warrior Sun ~End~ Ajo Tomasso Mike Matulis credits released October 24, 2023 Ajo Tomasso and Mike Matulis of the band BLUES GATOR license all rights reserved

BLUETOONES Ride Again with Ajo Tomasso on Tenor Saxophone

BLUETOONES Ride Again with Ajo Tomasso on Tenor Saxophone

June 1st, 1985, The BLUETOONES came back to their Alma Mater, Saint Lawrence University, and played like never before. Here is a short snippet I chose from their performance at Connie Barr's Bar & Grill on the night of June 1st, 1985. This must be the best sax solo I ever played. Rick Abbott played an awesome solo just before mine. I'll try to put that out too. These Facebook reels can't be longer than one minute.
